Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] block: store GPT partition type UUID
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 14:03:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261025-discoverable-root_partitions-v2-1-fb77d0821fab@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261025-discoverable-root_partitions-v2-0-fb77d0821fab@kernel.org>
DPS [1] identifies OS partitions by GPT partition type UUID.
Keep that UUID in struct partition_meta_info and populate it while
scanning GPT partition tables so early root discovery can use it.
[1] The Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS)
Link: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/
